Selena Gomez's emotional video expressing her sorrow over the ICE raids that resulted in the arrest of nearly 1,000 people sparked criticism from Trump's border czar, Tom Homan. Homan defended the operation, stating that it targeted criminal immigrants and was necessary to secure the border. Gomez's video also drew criticism from some Trump supporters online.
Trump's border czar, Tom Homan , has criticized Selena Gomez after the singer posted an emotional video lamenting the impact of ICE raids on Sunday. Gomez's video, which has since been deleted, showed her visibly distressed as she addressed the arrests of nearly 1,000 people nationwide during the immigration crackdown. In her message, Gomez expressed her sorrow and helplessness, saying, 'I just want to say that I'm so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children. I don't understand.
I'm so sorry I wish I could do something but I can't. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.' Homan, who is leading the immigration overhaul, responded with a scathing critique of Gomez's video during an interview with Fox News. 'If they don't like it, then go to Congress and change the law. We're going to do this operation without apology,' he stated. Homan vehemently denied that children were targeted in the raids, emphasizing that the operation focused on deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records. 'I don't think we've arrested any families. We've arrested public safety threats and national security threats, bottom-line,' he asserted. He further argued that President Trump's election victory was largely driven by his campaign promise to secure the border and protect American lives. 'What happened on our southern border in the last four years is the biggest national security threat our country has seen, at least in my lifetime,' Homan declared. This statement follows Trump's signing of several executive orders in his first few days in office aimed at tightening immigration control. Gomez's video sparked a wave of criticism from Trump supporters online, who accused her of expressing insincere emotions or 'performative tears.' Conservative political commentator Tomi Lahren shared a video on X criticizing Gomez for seeking political advice from 'Disney child stars.' Republican politician Sam Parker, who ran for Senate in 2018, even tweeted, 'Deport Selena Gomez.' Gomez swiftly deleted the video but responded to the backlash by posting a blank story on Instagram with the caption, 'Apparently it's not OK to show empathy for people.
